Villota

"On my ancestors' estate, I take on the project of making wines with the goal of being the bridge between the nature of the vineyard and the pleasure of drinking good, honest wines. I continue a family history of winegrowers, now with the challenge of making the wines that the next generation seeks." 

Carmen Pérez Garrigues is the fourth generation of a family of winegrowers and agricultural engineers who have been established since 1930 in the San Rafael meander in Laserna (Rioja Alavesa).
 
It all began in 1930, when her great-grandfather settled on the property. Decade after decade, his successors, the Pérez Villotas, transformed it into one of the emblematic estates of 20th-century Rioja. Since 1974, linked to the world of wine, they have gained a deep understanding of the site: 97 hectares of old vineyards, surrounded by the Ebro River, which they cultivate organically, respecting the vineyard and its landscape.
 
Today, under Carmen's direction, Villota offers a full range of estate wines, both white and red. Among them, Viña Gena—one of the first Viñedo Singular wines in Rioja—and Las Anchas, the great classic wine from old vineyards.
